I've just been shown an example of a program (in this case, a Java program) that uses the Client Access API to tie into a Client Access terminal emulation session, wake up when the user presses ALT-F11, do things through some sort of client-server connection, and then return control to the terminal emulator.Can somebody please point me in the direction of something that can help me understand what's going on? I'd like to be able to implement a similar capability in our own emulation products.
James:I'm not sure how much help anyone can be (techno-legally). What you want is perhaps the "OS/400 Socket Servers Interface" series of documents, the LIPI (Licensed Internal Program Interface) documentation. I don't have info handy on how even to ask IBM about/for it. It's essentially a manual of a few hundred pages with tech-specs on the server interfaces. Last I heard it cost approx $500 plus a general NDA.
Aside from that direction, I guess the alternative is to install iSeries Access and call its APIs. Not a perfect alternative for you I suspect.
